Subject: [PATCH v4 0/7] Optimize jump label implementation for ARM64

From: Jiang Liu <[email protected]>

This patchset tries to optimize arch specfic jump label implementation
for ARM64 by dynamic kernel text patching.

To enable this feature, your toolchain must support "asm goto" extension
and "%c" constraint extesion. Current GCC for AARCH64 doesn't support
"%c", so you need a GCC patch similiar to this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/trunk/gcc/config/arm/arm.c?view=patch&r1=175293&r2=175565&pathrev=175565
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48637

It has been tested on ARM Fast mode and a real hardware platform.

Any comments are welcomed!

V3->V4:
1) resolve a race condition in kernel text patching
2) address other review comments

V2->V3:
1) fix a bug in comparing signed and unsigned values
2) detect big endian by checking __AARCH64EB__

V1->V2: address review comments of V1
1) refine comments
2) add a new interface to always synchronize with stop_machine()
when patching code
3) handle endian issue when patching code


Jiang Liu (7):
arm64: introduce basic aarch64 instruction decoding helpers
arm64: introduce interfaces to hotpatch kernel and module code
arm64: move encode_insn_immediate() from module.c to insn.c
arm64: introduce aarch64_insn_gen_{nop|branch_imm}() helper functions
arm64, jump label: detect %c support for ARM64
arm64, jump label: optimize jump label implementation
jump_label: use defined macros instead of hard-coding for better
readability

Subject: [PATCH v4 2/7] arm64: introduce interfaces to hotpatch kernel and module code

From: Jiang Liu <[email protected]>

Introduce three interfaces to patch kernel and module code:
aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync():
patch code without synchronization, it's caller's responsibility
to synchronize all CPUs if needed.
aarch64_insn_patch_text_sync():
patch code and always synchronize with stop_machine()
aarch64_insn_patch_text():
patch code and synchronize with stop_machine() if needed

Subject: [PATCH v4 5/7] arm64, jump label: detect %c support for ARM64

From: Jiang Liu <[email protected]>

As commit a9468f30b5eac6 "ARM: 7333/2: jump label: detect %c
support for ARM", this patch detects the same thing for ARM64
because some ARM64 GCC versions have the same issue.

Some versions of ARM64 GCC which do support asm goto, do not
support the %c specifier. Since we need the %c to support jump
labels on ARM64, detect that too in the asm goto detection script
to avoid build errors with these versions.

For some reason, I just read `cls' as `count leading set', so you could just
use `class' here to help lazy readers like me :)

You can delete this comment now that we're using the helpers...

Isn't cnt always 1 for the _nosync patching? Can you just drop the argument
and simplify this code? Patching a sequence without syncing is always racy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! The comment here is wrong -- we only run the patching on
*one* CPU, which is the right thing to do. However, the arch/arm/ call to
stop_machine in kprobes does actually run the patching code on *all* the
online cores (including the cache flushing!). I think this is to work around
cores without hardware cache maintenance broadcasting, but that could easily
be called out specially (like we do in patch.c) and the flushing could be
separated from the patching too.

You could make aarch64_insn_hotpatch_safe take the cnt parameter and return
false if cnt != 1.

"It"? You mean the ARMv8 architecture?

This is just AARCH64_INSN_IMM_16 now that we're not dealing with MOV
relocations. You can kill INSN_IMM_MOVK in the enum.

The rest of the patch looks fine.

[...]

For code modifications done in 32bit ARM kprobes (and ftrace) I'm not
sure we ever actually resolved the possible cache flushing issues. If
there was specific reasons for flushing on all cores I can't remember
them, sorry. I have a suspicion that doing so was a case of sticking
with what the code was already doing, and flushing on all cores seemed
safest to guard against problems we hadn't thought about.

Some of the issues discussed were that we couldn't have one core
potentially executing instructions being modified by another CPU,
because that's architecturally unpredictable except for a few
instructions [1], and we also have the case where a 32-bit Thumb
instruction can straddle two different cache-lines. But these may not be
reasons to flush on all cores if stop machine is synchronising all CPU's
in a kind of holding pen and the cache operations done on one core are
broadcast to others. (Are there correct barriers involved in
stop-machine so that when the other cores resume they are guaranteed to
only see the new version of the modified code, or do we only get that
guarantee because we happen to execute the cache flushing on all cores?)

[1] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-December/136441.html

Another of the issues I hit was big.LITTLE related whereby the cache
line size is different on different cores [2].

[2] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-February/149794.html

I don't think anything I've said above actually gives a solid reason why
we _must_ execute cache flushing on all cores for kprobes and can't just
use the relatively new patch_text function (which checks for the one
case we do need to flush on all cores using cache_ops_need_broadcast).

Sorry, I don't think I've added much light on things here have I?

I think it's cache flushing instead of stop_machine() because cache
flusing includes an ISB.

The idea flow should be:
1) master acquire a lock to serialize text patching
2) all CPU barrier
3) master updates memory and flush cache
4) master set a flag to let all other CPU continue
5) all other CPU executes ISB.

Updating memory and flushing cache on every CPU with stop_machine()
achieves the same effect with simple implementation, but the
implementation really seems a little strange.

If desired, I will implement the standard flow.

I think you missed the bit I was confused about :) Flushing the cache on
each core is necessary if cache_ops_need_broadcast, so I can understand why
you'd have code to do that. The bit I don't understand is that you actually
patch the instruction on each core too!

This is only happens when removing a kprobe with __arch_disarm_kprobe().
We can't just use the intelligent patch_text() function there because we
want to always force stop machine to be used as this prevents the case
where a CPU a hits the probe, starts executing it's handler then another
CPU whips away the probe from under it.

That explains why we use stop_machine, but not why all CPU's must modify
the instruction. I think it's a case of just that it's simpler to do
that unconditionally rather than add extra code for the
cache_ops_need_broadcast() case. I mean, stop_machine() is a sledge
hammer, which stalls the whole system until the next scheduler tick, and
then gets every CPU to busy wait, so there's not much incentive to try
and optimise the code to avoid a memory write + cacheline flush on each
core.

This reminds me, I'm sure I heard rumours quite some time ago that Paul
McKenney was thinking of trying to do away with stop_machine...?
